HOUSEKEEPING

Hello Heroes!

⚔︎ We are lowering the amount of duplicate characters allowed in game to three. This has been reflected in the rules.

⚔︎ We'll be making a few changes to the way we post information in Metaheroes! Some of these changes are detailed below; keep an eye out for further updates!

⚔︎ Instead of city prompts within our State of the Game post, we will be putting up a log on the the first of the month. This log will contain a New Arrivals portion as well as general city prompts for characters to respond to.

⚔︎ The March Test Drive Meme will go up on March 4th.

So feel free to share your ideas with us at PLAYER PLOTS. No plot is too big or too small! If you want to follow up on an event, investigate the setting or interact with a NPC, you can also hit up SETTING ENGAGEMENT and NPC ENGAGEMENT respectively.

The bolded parts of this post are meant to highlight areas that players can interact with and affect.

⚔︎ For the April application round, any current player can extend one invitation. Players planning to invite someone this round should comment below with the player's information!

⚔︎ This game has an unofficial DISCORD SERVER! As a reminder, the moderators will not be monitoring the server's contents. However, players who have issues in the server are still welcome to bring their concerns to us at MOD CONTACT, just as they would with Plurk.

Players unsure whether this affects their characters can check on the GUILDS page. As characters are removed from the Diadem Hotel, players should comment to the HOUSING page with updates on where they are staying. The deadline for January arrivals is March 27.

⚔︎ JANUARY ARRIVALS LOSE THEIR FREE RIDE! When characters first arrived, the guilds promised to help them get their footing. Per notices sent to each occupied room, characters have until MARCH 27TH before their stay at the Diadem Hotel comes to an end. Characters who commit to a guild may take advantage of the associated housing subsidy or may use their own personal income to secure private housing.

ACTIVITY WARNING

Will no longer be included on the State of the Game posts. This is due to the change in when activity is posted, and when the State of the Game posts go live. Instead, warning lists will be put on the bottom of the Activity page two days prior to the end of the activity period.

DROPS

The following characters will vanish in the coming Confluence: Bethan Costigan, Peter Parker (MCU), Bruce Wayne, Terry McGinnis, Bucky Barnes, Joker, Jessica Jones, Will Solace, Loki Laufeyson (Kid Loki), Dr Jane Foster, Bridget "Birdie" Lewis, Jubilee, Godzilla, Carol Malus Dienheim, Eddie Brock

Please coordinate with the mods if you would like to claim some or all of their belongings.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU —

Hello, new heroes! Please use the form below to introduce yourself and start plotting if you'd like:

<B>Player Name & Pronouns:</b> <B>Preferred Communication:</b> Plurk, Discord, DM, etc. <B>Character Name & Journal:</b> <B>Guild Affiliation:</b> Is your character susceptible to being swayed into membership? Or will they take the hard path and stay unaffiliated? <B>Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals:</b> What does your character want? You can list short term and long term goals, but also emotional needs that aren't being fulfilled. What do you want to do with them in game? What ideas do you already have? <B>Plot/CR Hooks:</b> What kinds of things does your character get up to that might throw them in the path of someone else's plot, or that you would like other players to engage with? What role does your character play in their canon plot? What role might they play in others' plots, and what would it take to get their attention? Are they an antagonist, a researcher, a tech whiz?

Player Name & Pronouns: Joann, she/they
Preferred Communication: goodnonsense@Plurk

Character Name & Journal: Kaz | kazimieras
Guild Affiliation: he's gonna join the Alliance SO fast y'all
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Kaz was very invested in getting powers immediately prior to coming to Metaheroes, so he’s going to be thrilled about that, which will soften the pain of being ripped from his home and loved ones. I’m mostly interested in giving him a chance to develop relationships with new people, explore his new powers, and also maybe process some of the messed-up things that happened in his canon now that he’s not in a Disney-approved setting. Also I wanna get him a job in a medical clinic or something so he can continue being a doctor.
Plot/CR Hooks: EVERY DAY'S AN ADVENTURE - I mean, Kaz is a heroic-ish kid and a sixteen-year-old doctor (practicing without a license and he definitely did not go to med school lol) who specializes in treating superheroes in his canon. He's going to be out and about meeting cool new people - he's kind of a superhero groupie so it's not going to be hard to get his attention - and taking advantage of his newfound independence to, uh, probably do a very bad job of taking care of himself, actually.

ok I admit I only know who Kaz is because of Keyan Carlile's 3.5 hour retrospective on Mighty Med on youtube but I've enjoyed our TDM thread and would love to play with you more! Leo could always use new friends

also Leo being a medic is a headcanon I really enjoy and while I didn't go with that being a skill he has already (because it's not established canon), I'd love to find an avenue for him to take an interest in medical stuff and maybe getting to know Kaz would facilitate that? tell him all about treating superheroes Kaz he'd love to hear about it

[kazimieras]

not gonna lie that is also what got me started on this soooo can't complain. Also, willing to consider that canon if you want? it was a cute li'l thread and there's no reason Kaz wouldn't do it now that he's here for real.

And sure!! Kaz would love to talk about his glory days at Mighty Med.

[faceguy]

yeah we can consider that canon! Leo only just moved out of the Diadem so we can say they overlapped lol

niiiice I'm excited

So Huvrye is nearly seven feet tall and has a twelve foot wingspan, if that's the sort of thing that would catch Kaz's attention/that he would groupie over! (Huvrye will have no idea how to feel about it. There are better role models, kid, please find one of those ;;; ) He also has a habit of hauling teens out of trouble and keeping track of them, if Kaz needs someone to be a vaguely responsible adult in his direction.

[kazimieras]

Kaz would think that is VERY cool yes and also he does need people to be vaguely responsible adults in his direction so that does sound good yes
